Nope never said you were that same guy or that you were posting toys as your own built models, I just said your demeanor reminded me of a person who did and your photos and lack of examples of your own work were not helping.
That and calling me a liar, it all seems way too familiar.
and now i think you are him, so now you can call me a liar.
You don't like being called things huh? Or accused of being a fraud?
Why does it upset you to be misrepresented or insulted in a forum of your peers? Really. I wonder what that feels like?
Tell you what. I said I didn't want to hear another squawk out of you directed towards me, but I suppose popping by to call me a liar suffices.
So I have few suggestions for you that might help you shake this whole fraud thingy you got going on here, shaking the whole "overwhelming ass" thing might take cosmetic and/or brain surgery but since you decided to push the issue with your "liar" comment let's get down to brass tacks.
Don't you think that when you came in here and ripped my work beyond acceptable levels it would require you to post your own work as an example besides spouting of off lengthy historical notes of your pain staking research into getting your figures just to that right period in time down the their billfolds carrying the correct photos of loved ones back home?
Did you think that spouting off well known book titles, after market part companies and other common knowledge would qualify you as someone dumping a veritable brainstorm of "trade secrets of the master modeler"?
Having the ability to post links to other's work to prove your point that 1:35 scale master modelers exist and whoop on me with their accuracy and use of much more detailed kits and products to further that detail makes up for your lack of examples? at all?
And I am not totally aware of Missing Lynx stance on their images being directly linked for your use, but most sites are not to fond of it due to it eating their bandwidth. Not that they mind your use of their images for your research paper on how kick arse your mad skillz are that they cannot be photographed. But that's a petty observation to go on about when there are much more glaring and suspicious issues at hand here.
So I ask you to do me a few things since I put my work out here and you got all your douche phlegm all over my evening the other night...
put up or shut up
I don't want to see any more
"well um I bought this one built by another guy on ebay and them i got bored with it and them um i put it in my closet and I didn't paint that one and no i never said that I just insinuated it and showed it as my work and the I um I decided to paint it as 1943 version, but I was waiting on a company to come out with the correct license plates in photo etch..."
Blah blah blah blah can it.
You said this
I'm 27, been doing military stuff(planes and armour, now just ground and WWII) since I was 16, took a break at 22-25 to go into auto-racing, gave that up sold the cars, and now I am back into a cheaper safer hobby with WWII History.
Ok let's
SEE it,
your 27 and I am 39 and you have been modeling since you were 16 and that would make body of work that should equal lemme see i am such an idiot....umm eleven years of work minus the uh years you took off to RACE CARS...right?
(man eleven years of modeling, that just blows my cerebellum off the back of my head trying to balance the whole Car Racing Vs. Expert Modeler careers)
So let's see 10 examples of your work. I don't give 2 squats if they are not your best or even if they are were sold or you gave em away. Most folks photograph their models and you would at the very least have snapped a few shots over the last few years.
I would expect that after 11 years (minus the vroom vroom) you would have built a pretty big display of your work right? I will put up my body of work that includes what I have done since I got started about 3/4 OF A YEAR AGO. I had designs on car racing but I went up to the track and I found out you can't just fill out an application, you have to have money and sponsors and well you know your a race car driver!
Now this is not a contest to see who is a better modeler, it is a test to see if your boasting arrogant head can procure us just 10 photos of your work (and I do prefer completed) to prove that you MODEL AT ALL.
Ok got it? my 3/4 of year (might be a year by now) vs. your self described 11 years of intensive well thought out and masterful modeling knowledge hard at work on display to wow us all.
Think of it like you came into this thread just the same,
except you provided your own work to back up your mouth
That will be easy right?
Ok, I expect to see some wonderful models all weathered up by that little makeup kit by tamiya
and oh yes,
i keep referring to your racing career.
If you don't mind can we get more than 5 shots of you in a car...a race car... that's not moving....on a race track... with you in racing gear. Not you grinning in a car inside a local BMW dealership with flip flops and a mullet....
mm k?
Thanks man if you could do that, that would be super.
oh and I will get my examples all up on photobucket and properly sorted so i don't miss any. You know I have all this stuff to sort, but hell why am i crying you have almost 8 years to sort through. And your closet must be stuffed!
Signed,
The presumed "Liar"
